Publisher's Synopsis
Jesus the Storyteller Bible Study Book includes a small-group experience for six sessions, applicable Scripture, and individual study created for personal discipleship. Jesus told many stories that illustrated key truths of the Good News. He used these parables to shock, challenge, amuse, answer, and encourage His listeners. Some of these special teaching tools demonstrated what joys or sorrows could await those who practice or ignore the teachings of Christ and His Word. And they still hold rich wisdom for listeners today. Session Titles: 1. The Sower and the Soils, Mark 4:1-9;14-20 2. The Unmerciful Servant, Matt. 18:21-35 3. The Good Samaritan, Luke 10:25-37 4.
